Precious Metal Recovery Methods – Recycling Sweeps



Making sure that you get the most from your metal is very important! Letting bits of precious metals go to waste is just not cost effective, so there are many different precious metal recovery and recycling methods out there to help you get the most out of your metal. One of the types of metal that the crew at Jewelers Refining Group, Inc., works with is metal sweeps.

Metal sweeps come from a variety of places. Silver sweeps are generally ashes or residue and are generally produced by photographic businesses. Additionally, jewelry sweeps are wipes and grindings that come from jewelers. Other selections include electronic scrap, car production, and glass industry sweeps.  Many of these fine particles may look like they should be thrown out, but can be collected, refined, and recycled. 

When collecting your sweeps, we recommend that goods are weighed before and after every step of the finishing process. This practice makes sure you can properly recover all of the sweeps from your metals and helps prevent issues like theft, inefficient recovery methods, and unscrupulous accountability from other refiners. 

Consider the sweeps that your business produces and start collecting today. When you have collected a substantial amount, you can contact us about our precious metal recovery and recycling programs.
